Description

This recipe for Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze offers a quick, delicious way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable. Crisp-tender Brussels sprouts are air fried to perfection with olive oil and simple seasoning, then topped with shavings of Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of rich balsamic glaze, and crunchy toasted walnuts for a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Perfect as a side dish or a healthy snack, this easy-to-make recipe brings out the natural sweetness of Brussels sprouts with a tangy balsamic finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 lbs Brussels sprouts (ends trimmed, outer leaves removed, cut into quarters lengthwise)

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (shaved)
  • 2 tsp balsamic glaze
  • 3 tbsp walnuts (toasted and salted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and quartered Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
  2. Air Fry the Brussels Sprouts: Transfer the coated Brussels sprouts into the basket of your air fryer. Set the temperature to 360°F (182°C) and cook for 15 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, remove the basket and shake it to ensure even cooking and browning of the sprouts.
  3. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Once cooked, taste the Brussels sprouts and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately topped with shaved Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and sprinkled toasted walnuts while still hot, so the toppings complement the warm sprouts perfectly.

Notes

  • Make sure the Brussels sprouts are cut evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Toast walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant to enhance their flavor.
  • Balsamic glaze can be substituted with a reduction of balsamic vinegar if unavailable.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps to crisp the sprouts on all sides.
  • Adjust salt and pepper based on personal taste preferences.
